For “Born” JUN 1896 of Kate Fawdry

"Births Jun 1896; FAWDRY, Kate; Aston; 6d; 447"

FreeBMD birth index; the only Kate Fawdry registered nationally 1896-1898. Registers her birth about a year earlier than the tree's recorded 1897 (a birth in 1897 cannot register in the Jun quarter of 1896); see accompanying person.update. Aston was the registration district covering Sutton Coldfield in this period.

For “Died” JAN 1904 of George Manning

George MANNING | 1904 Mar | 78 | Wellington Som. | vol 5c p.211

FreeBMD death index row: name | quarter | age | district | volume/page. Retrieved 2026-09-04. Age 78 in Jan–Mar 1904 fits a 16 Dec 1825 birth. Wellington (Somerset) registration district contained Milverton (his 1901 residence) and Devon border parishes such as Hemyock and Culmstock, so the tree's 'Devon' is not contradicted.

For “Born” 7 FEB 1876 of Sydney Henry Staines

Sydney Henry STAINES | 1876 Mar | Hull | vol 9d p.281

Given-name triple 'Sydney Henry' is distinctive; district 'Hull' matches the tree's birthplace 'Kingston upon Hull' exactly. A Mar-quarter 1876 registration is consistent with a 7 Feb 1876 birth (same-quarter registration was normal); the index gives only the quarter and district, not the day, so this corroborates rather than proves the exact date.

For Samuel Bowler & Mary Ann McKay

Mary Ann McKAY | 1872 Dec | Canterbury | vol 2a p.1202a

GRO marriage index, bride's row: the only Mary Ann McKay or Mackay married at Canterbury between 1865 and 1878. Same district and quarter as the groom's row, but FreeBMD renders the page as "1202a" against his "1202" - normally the mark of a second index copy transcribed for the same page, though I could not confirm that, so both rows are cited at quality 2 rather than 3. The pairing rests on there being exactly one Samuel Bowler and exactly one Mary Ann McKay married in Canterbury district in that whole period, and on the tree already holding them as a couple whose children are registered at Canterbury from 1877.

WILLIAM E BOWLER | 1963 Mar | 74 | EALING | vol 5E p.9

SUPERSEDED. This row was attached in an earlier pass as the apparent basis for the tree's "1963, Ealing" death, and flagged then because age 74 implies a birth about 1888-89, not December 1881. It is now understood to be an unrelated William E Bowler. The 1965 National Probate Calendar records William Edward Bowler of Swalecliffe, Whitstable, Kent dying 15 April 1965 with probate to Laura Bowler, widow - and this man married Laura Chittenden in 1919 - and the GRO index registers that death at Bridge, Kent, age 83, which matches a December 1881 birth. The record's death has been changed accordingly. Kept at quality 1 and retained so the reasoning stays visible; a moderator may prefer to delete it.

Mother's maiden name is not indexed before Sep 1911, so this row names no parents and is cited at quality 2. Bakewell is the registration district covering Darley Dale, the birth place already on this record, and this is the only Samuel Bowler birth registered in Derbyshire in the March quarter of 1839. It confirms the MAR 1839 birth date.

The only Samuel Bowler death registered at Canterbury in 1905-1909, matching the 1907 Canterbury death already on this record, and the indexed age 69 implies a birth about 1838-39, agreeing with the March quarter of 1839. The death date is narrowed from the bare year 1907 to the July-September registration quarter, written in the house style already used elsewhere in this tree (MAR 1839, DEC 1881, JUN 1918).

The only Mary Ann McKay or Mackay married in Canterbury district between 1865 and 1878, in the same district and quarter as the only Samuel Bowler married there (vol 2a p.1202). Quality 2 rather than 3 because FreeBMD renders her page with an "a" suffix against his plain 1202 - normally the mark of a second index copy of the same page, but I could not confirm it, and the marriage index carries no spouse surname before 1912.
